Description
Hi cloudcasting team,
I encountered an error while validating the model using the provided command. The details are given below
## Error Description
When running the following [command](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/cloudcasting?tab=readme-ov-file#validating-a-model
) provided in the cloudcasting documentation
cloudcasting validate "validate_config.yml" "model.py"
The above command resulted in an error :
```Usage: cloudcasting validate [OPTIONS]
Got unexpected extra arguments```

## Expected behaviour
The model should validate without throwing an extra argument error.
## Fix
Using the `--config-file` and `--model-file` flags for the config and model files, respectively, resolves the error.
#### Modified command
cloudcasting validate --config-file "validate_config.yml" --model-file "model.py"
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the README's “Validating a model” section and compare its cloudcasting validate example with the command's --config-file and --model-file options. Update the documented invocation so it uses the working flags, then verify the command no longer reports unexpected extra arguments.
